What do you think it is about their relationship that keeps fans so in love with your characters as a couple? Melody Thomas Scott: In the beginning, we were certainly the most unlikely coupling to happen. She was the poor girl from the wrong side of the tracks who has a bad attitude — and she was a stripper.
He was the Howard Hughes of Genoa City. He must have seen something in both of us and felt we would have good chemistry together. Our souls want to dance together. And it has endured all these years. We are so grateful for it. Of course, we love working together. After all these years, we know our characters better than even the writers. You have this history both onscreen and offscreen. Your real-life history and bond are almost subconsciously felt onscreen as well.
Melody Thomas Scott: Nobody has ever said that to me before. I like that. Melody Thomas Scott: You touch on a good point there. We are so lucky that most of our longtime actors have been there for decades. Another chapter in your book that I thought was so important was the one about aging and how there is a double standard about men and women aging onscreen.
Melody Thomas Scott: I always thought, I am the least vain person you will ever meet. I mean, the actors are in the mirror more than I am. That does not bother me.
It just bothered me so much. Not because I want to be the vixen again. Not because I want to look young again. But the chin thing really bothered me.
